Chapter 65: A Difficult Choice (Part II)

After a pause, Ma Yunfeng comforted Wu Zhen again: "This time the co-author Xu Guoren is unlucky, no one thought that the capture of a Communist Party liaison will dig out Chen Zhiyuan, the lurker, don't worry, no matter what, Xu Guoren can't get out of it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Zhen nodded: "That's good, Xu Guoren, this little Wang Ba is cunning and ruthless, if you don't kill him, sooner or later he will become a big trouble for us." ”

"I naturally understand this, this time I sent Zhao Wen to lead people to arrest Chen Zhiyuan, whether we can succeed or not, it will be beneficial to us." Ma Yunfeng said confidently: "If Xu Guoren's department dares to obstruct the secret investigation team from arresting people, then it will be even more certain that they are suspected of being accomplices of the Communist Party." When the time comes, we can put pressure on them from the top of the Northeast Army, as long as Xu Guoren is relieved of military power, isn't it up to us? ”

"If that makes sense, then I'll sit back and wait for the good news." Wu Zhen said with a satisfied smile.

……

Xu Guoren led his troops, and when he was about to return to Pingyang, he received a telegram from Zhang Shaoshuai.

After reading the message, Xu Guoren's expression was a little solemn, and Guo Shiyin asked on the side, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Regardless of whether County Magistrate Chen is a Communist Party or not, I will not let those bastards in the provincial capital arrest him, because he once saved my father's life and is as kind to my Xu family." Xu Guoren immediately made a decision, raised his head and ordered: "Pass my order, all troops speed up their advance and march at full speed!" ”

"The brigade commander has an order, march at full speed! Fast! Fast! The herald galloped on horseback, and wherever he went, he quickly passed on Xu Guoren's order with a loud roar.

The speed of the troops' march increased in vain, and Xu Guoren also jerked his crotch off the war horse, and the war horse was in pain, let go of the four hooves and galloped forward.

Guo Shiyin looked at Xu Guoren's departing back, and had to shake her head helplessly, as an agent of the Central Union, she naturally understood what the fact that Chen Zhiyuan was a Communist Party meant to the entire 88th Independent Brigade.

However, Xu Guoren is her beloved man, and no matter what decision he makes, he should support him. The reason why she shook her head was because she knew that she couldn't persuade Xu Guoren. Although this is likely to cause Xu Guoren to fall into endless trouble, if Xu Guoren can watch Chen Zhiyuan, who has the grace of saving his life, and not save him when he dies, then he will not be the Xu Guoren he loves.

When Xu Guoren led the troops back to Pingyang, Guo Hu had already received the news and went out of the city for several miles to greet him.

"Brother, what should we do?" Guo Hu had a headache and said: "Those guys from the secret investigation team from the provincial capital, they are arrogant and ruthless, they have been arrested by us, and they are arrogant and arrogant." ”

Xu Guoren said fiercely: "Don't take care of them for the time being, if the situation worsens, I will slaughter them." ”

"Okay." Guo Hu nodded and said, "Is there any news from the young marshal?" ”

"He told me to stay out of the matter and not to get involved in the arrest of County Magistrate Chen, so how can I do it? He is your Uncle Xu's savior, and he is my Xu Guoren's savior, how can I ignore him? Xu Guoren walked as he walked.

Guo Hu nodded and said, "Well, no matter what, Danian and I firmly support you." ”

"Huzi is right, it's Brother Guoren, your life-saving benefactor, it's our life-saving benefactor, you can do whatever you say." Guo Danian echoed loudly.

"Don't worry about anything else, I'll go meet Chen Lao first, it's time to talk to him openly and honestly, at least I have to know his true identity before I can think of ways to deal with the current situation." After Xu Guoren finished speaking, he took the lead and rode towards the city.

Not long after, Xu Guoren came to the gate of the county government compound, and Chen Zhiyuan had already heard the news and rushed to greet him.

"Brigadier Xu." Chen Zhiyuan greeted Xu Guoren with an indifferent smile.

"Old Chen, this is not the place to talk, let's go to your office to talk." Xu Guoren said without a smile.

"It's fine." Chen Zhiyuan nodded solemnly, and turned around and walked into the compound with Xu Guoren.

After coming to his office, Xu Guoren couldn't wait to ask, "Old Chen, can you tell me your true identity now?" ”

"If I were a communist, what were you going to do?" Chen Zhiyuan asked instead of answering.

"Not to mention, you are the life-saving benefactor of my Xu father and son, even for the sake of your personality, I will not take you to seek wealth and nobility. So, no matter who you are, I will protect you and will never hand you over to those spies. Xu Guoren said categorically.

Chen Zhiyuan secretly put his mind at ease in his heart, and at the same time cast an appreciative glance at Xu Guoren, he really didn't see the wrong person.

At that moment, he said solemnly to Xu Guoren: "That's right, I am the Communist Party!" I remember the last time I told me that the hope of the 40,000,000 Chinese people today lies in whether there is anyone who can lead the toiling masses to overthrow all kinds of unequal oppression and exploitation. And what I want to say is that the Chinese Communist Party is the group you are talking about, and our goal is to overthrow oppression and exploitation and work for the benefit of the vast majority of the poor people. ”

Xu Guoren said awe-inspiringly: "Actually, I have already guessed this, but Old Chen, you didn't reveal your identity to me, so you didn't ask much." ”

"Then Brigade Commander Xu, how do you feel now?" Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Old Chen, with me, no one can touch a single hair of you." Xu Guoren got a clear answer, and there was no doubt in his heart.

Chen Zhiyuan wanted to send an invitation to Xu Guoren to join the Communist Party of China, but before the organizational assessment had passed, he had to suppress that impulse and smile and nod his head.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Ma Yunfeng saw that Zhao Wen and his party had no news for a long time, and he suddenly couldn't sit still, and he concluded that Zhao Wen and the others must have been detained by Xu Guoren's troops. Therefore, he and Wu Zhen, while reporting to Nanjing Power Generation, put pressure on Wang Shuchang with a fake tiger.

He was asked to order Xu Guoren to release him immediately and arrest Chen Zhiyuan, a suspected communist.

Wang Shuchang couldn't withstand the pressure, so he had to ask Zhang Xueliang for instructions, Zhang Xueliang was also very dissatisfied with Xu Guoren's non-response, and once again instructed Yu Xuezhong to send a telegram urging Xu Guoren to release him, and at the same time instructed Yu Xuezhong to rush south to the 88th Independent Brigade to explain the pros and cons to Xu Guoren in person, and strictly ordered Xu Guoren to act according to the order.

Zhao Zhen and Ma Yunfeng were authorized by Nanjing to mobilize the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army stationed on the Zhengtai Line such as the provincial capital and Shimen to march towards the independent 88th Brigade defense area.

Obviously, they understood that Zhang Xueliang would provide protection for Xu Guoren, so they were prepared with both hands.

The Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army had suffered Xu Guoren's losses before, and they all wanted to avenge an arrow, and now they have the authorization of Nanjing, so it can be said that they have taken the sword of Shang Fang, once Xu Guoren and his independent 88th Brigade have any changes, they will definitely launch a siege and wipe them out.

"Guoren, Beiping called again, urging you to immediately release the people from the secret investigation team and cooperate with them to arrest County Magistrate Chen." Guo Shiyin took the telegram and reported to Xu Guoren with a solemn face.

"Call Zhang Shaoshuai back, and say that I, Xu Guoren, can't watch my life-saving benefactor being taken away and be indifferent, please forgive me." Xu Guoren felt the need to call Zhang Xueliang back to express his attitude, and the next thing was to fight with him, and then he would follow.

"However, in this way, we will offend the young marshal and the Northeast Army!" Guo Shiyin was a little embarrassed.

"And what do you want me to do? Do you want to hand over Chen Zhiyuan? Xu Guoren said: "If a person can even sell his own life-saving benefactor, isn't it even as good as a dog?" You know, dogs also know gratitude.

Besides, I don't think this matter is that simple, there is no shortage of people in the provincial city who want to deal with us, and the last time they were forcibly mediated by Zhang Shaoshuai, it doesn't mean that they will give up their hatred for me, so even if I don't care about Chen Zhiyuan, most of them will not let me go, and the situation will only get worse at that time! ”

Saying that, Xu Guoren said awe-inspiringly: "It's not a big deal, it's a big deal to flip the table with them, I can see it clearly, now there are many warlord factions in these places in China, and in the areas under their jurisdiction, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are embarrassed and oppress the good, you can either collude with them and become a raccoon dog, or you can only be eliminated!"

This is different from my original intention of forming the security team, I came from a poor background, and all I wanted was to have no worries about food and clothing, and my family was healthy.

However, this troubled world didn't even give me a chance to live, so I could only fight up and strive for self-improvement, because only in this way can I live.

However, no matter what, I will not betray my conscience and original intention, which is probably what my father often told me not to forget my original intention. ”
